weird alien world
Wind surfer Megan Larson (Courtnee Draper) wants hunky Cutter Colburne. She dreams for her parents to get back together, her little brother Trevor to be nicer, and to be friends with popular girl Heather Hartman. To her dismay, her mother Kathy (Khrystyne Haje) starts going out with the strange Cosmo Cola (Lance Guest) from Yukon who has a weirder daughter Ariel (Tamara Hope). It turns out that they used to be gaseous aliens. Cosmo had escaped from the emperor as a freedom fighter and his wife was lost to the winds.
This could have worked with Ariel simply as a fish out of water and Megan as her embarrassed step-sister. The high school drama part of the story is good. The weird CGI alien world is unappealing. They're wasting computer time with that part of the movie. It's more appealing as a described world. The whole alien political intrigue is tiresome. That goes down the wrong track despite the original premise. The visual style is brightly colored and beachy. This is a weird idea that can work but not if it's done this way.
